"will you give me your whole heart, my darling?"
my darling, my love,
my heart is not whole
it's shattered in pieces
and the pieces are lost
for I've given them all away
I gave a piece to my mother
but she traded it for a diamond ring
as she traded her family
for a life with a rich older man
I gave a piece to my father
but he forgot all about my love
as he drank to forget his misery
and the love that he'd lost
I gave a piece to my baby sister
but she let it fall from her hands
as she fell too hard and too fast
into the arms of a handsome bad boy
I gave a piece to my best friend
but she took it six feet under
when she took her own life
because my love couldn't save her
I gave a piece to my first love
but he stole it from me
while he stole the hearts of other girls
because just one love wasn't enough
I kept only one piece for myself
but I threw it down a wishing well
wishing for a better life and
someone to love my broken heart
so forgive me, my love,
my heart is much to broken
to give you my whole heart
that you truly deserve
"then all I ask is for one piece, my darling"
so I gave the last piece to you
but as I laid it into your warm hands
I fell dead and laid on the cold ground
as my broken heart at last stopped beating
